, The articulation
between the head of
femur and the
acetabulum of the
innominate bone
Synovial ball and socket
Permits a wide range of Head of
movements compatible the femur
with locomotor activities
Involved in transmission
of weight. Has to be
able to support full body
weight when standing

, Joint needs stability
even at the expense of
limitation of range of
movement
Stability is determined
by the shape of the
